Wiltshire Council is running an online survey gathering information about what local people feel are the important themes and priorities for their area.  The short survey asks people to choose their key themes and then, for their top three, tell us further detail about those issues.  It shouldn’t take any longer than 10mins to complete.

The responses we get back will help to inform Wiltshire Council’s planning for the coming years and also help to shape RWB&C Area Board’s priorities for the coming year.  We really want to hear about the issues that are important to local people so we can channel resources into making changes where they’re wanted.

It’s available for the next two weeks and will close on 7^th May: https://surveys.wiltshire.gov.uk/s/ad7x4r
